Ideas on Pregnancy prevention

In life there are going to be many choices that will effect you in the long run. If not approached carefully it could have long lasting affects. Pregnancy is a serious thing that most females will endure during there life time. Some of those females will endure pregnancy will still a teen. Today 1 and 3 girl will get pregnant before they become 20 years old. My quest is to lower those statistics. I feel if we as a society start to take teen pregnancy and just sex in general more seriously we'll have less teen mothers. I think young men and women should be presented with pregnancy prevention methods. Not only just the methods but the cost and also we're to find them. I know we should emphasize abstinence but today's youth are more sexually driven than ever. I feel we are obligated to give the youth more information about std's and birth control methods. If we wait to late to teach them than some might never know and end up pregnant or with a potentially dangerous disease. There are many birth control methods, but the most popular is the birth control pill. Most brands of the pill are between 98.9 - 99.9  effective in preventing pregnancy("Planned Parenthood"). But just because you take the pill doesn't mean your safe from any std's. So if your not married or in a long committed relationship. You should always use a condom which can provide some protection from pregnancy also and helps prevent the spread of sexually diseases.I think we should have more classes to teach the teens about protecting them selves. If it doesn't work they can't blame society for not helping.
